Product details
Overview
TB62218AFNG from Toshiba is a BiCD monolithic two-phase bipolar stepping motor driver IC with PWM constant-current chopper control, rated for 40 V/2.0 A per phase, featuring integrated thermal shutdown (TSD), overcurrent shutdown (ISD), and power-on reset (PORS) - used in precision motion control systems such as industrial automation actuators, CNC positioning stages, and medical infusion pump drives.
For engineers reviewing the TB62218AFNG datasheet, TB62218AFNG pinout, TB62218AFNG application, or TB62218AFNG equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context on mixed-decay PWM operation, HTSSOP48 package layout constraints, current-setting via VREF/RS resistor network, and real-world excitation mode compatibility (two-phase, 1-2-phase, W1-2-phase).
Technical Context
The TB62218AFNG implements a dual H-bridge output stage using DMOS FETs fabricated in Toshiba's BiCD process, enabling 40 V/2.0 A absolute maximum ratings with 1.0 Ω typical total ON-resistance (upper + lower) per bridge. Its internal CR oscillator sets chopper frequency between 40–150 kHz, with fixed 37.5% mixed-decay timing for precise current regulation.
Control logic accepts PHASE_A/PHASE_B direction signals and IN_A1/IN_A2/IN_B1/IN_B2 excitation inputs to support three drive modes: two-phase (full-step), 1-2-phase (half-step), and W1-2-phase (microstep-like waveform shaping). Current sensing occurs across dedicated RS_A1/RS_A2 and RS_B1/RS_B2 pins referenced to VM, with VREF_A/VREF_B tuning peak current per phase via IOUT = (VREF/5) ÷ RRS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Output Voltage | 40 V - supports stepper motors with up to 38 V nominal supply (VM operating range) |
| Max Output Current | 2.0 A per phase - absolute rating; recommended ≤1.4 A continuous due to thermal limits |
| Chopper Frequency | 40–150 kHz - adjustable via external CR network; default 100 kHz at 1600 kHz OSCM clock |
| VREF Decay Rate | 1/5.0 (typ.) - defines current scaling factor: IOUT = VREF × 0.2 ÷ RRS |
| TSD Threshold | 150°C (typ.) - junction temperature trip point; outputs latch off until STANDBY toggle or reboot |
| ISD Trip Threshold | 3.0 A (typ.) - per-phase overcurrent detection with 4-cycle masking against switching noise |
| Logic Supply | VCC = 5.0 V ±2.5% - internally regulated from VM; powers input logic and oscillator |

| VM / VCC / GND | Power domains | VM (motor supply, up to 40 V), VCC (logic regulator input), and three GND types: logic (pins 11, 46), motor (pins 20, 24, 25, 29) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bipolar stepper motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STK672-430 | Higher 50 V/3.0 A rating; integrated current DAC; requires external VREF generator | Supports 1/16 microstepping via SPI interface - not available on TB62218AFNG | Choose when digital microstepping control and higher voltage headroom are required; adds SPI interface complexity |
| DRV8825 | Lower 45 V/2.2 A rating; built-in indexer; 1/32 microstepping; uses single VREF pin for both phases | Onboard step/direction logic eliminates need for external sequencer - unlike TB62218AFNG's direct excitation inputs | Choose when simplifying controller firmware is prioritized over independent phase current tuning |
Compared with STK672-430 and DRV8825, the TB62218AFNG offers hardware-selectable excitation modes without serial interface overhead, independent per-phase VREF adjustment for asymmetrical torque compensation, and proven thermal robustness in continuous 1.4 A operation - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, fixed-function motion systems where analog tuning suffices.

FAQ
What excitation modes does the TB62218AFNG support?
The TB62218AFNG supports three hardware-configurable excitation modes: two-phase (full-step), 1-2-phase (half-step), and W1-2-phase (asymmetric waveform shaping). These are selected via combinations of IN_A1/IN_A2/IN_B1/IN_B2 and PHASE_A/PHASE_B inputs as defined in the Output Function Table. No external sequencer or microcontroller firmware is needed - all sequencing is handled internally by the TB62218AFNG logic block.
How is output current set on the TB62218AFNG?
Output current on the TB62218AFNG is set per phase using the formula IOUT = (VREF/5) ÷ RRS, where VREF is applied to VREF_A or VREF_B (3.6 V max), and RRS is the external current-sense resistor connected between RS_X1/RS_X2 and the motor coil return. The 1/5.0 decay rate is fixed; typical VREF = 3.0 V with RRS = 0.75 Ω yields 0.8 A per phase. The TB62218AFNG measures voltage drop across RRS relative to VM to regulate current.
What protection features are built into the TB62218AFNG?
The TB62218AFNG integrates thermal shutdown (TSD), overcurrent shutdown (ISD), and power-on reset (PORS). TSD disables outputs at 150°C junction temperature; ISD trips at 3.0 A per phase with 4-cycle noise masking; PORS holds outputs off until VM and VCC reach valid thresholds. All protections are latching - recovery requires toggling the STANDBY pin or power cycling. These functions operate independently per phase for ISD and globally for TSD/PORS.
What is the purpose of the OSCM pin on the TB62218AFNG?
The OSCM pin on the TB62218AFNG connects to an external RC network (typically 270 pF capacitor and 3.6 kΩ resistor) that sets the base oscillator frequency for the internal chopper circuit. This frequency determines PWM switching rate (40–150 kHz range) and governs mixed-decay timing, blanking intervals, and ISD masking duration. The OSCM signal is internally divided to generate the CR_CLK used for current regulation - making it fundamental to stable constant-current operation of the TB62218AFNG.
Can the TB62218AFNG drive unipolar stepper motors?
No, the TB62218AFNG is designed exclusively for two-phase bipolar stepper motors. Its dual H-bridge architecture requires four-wire bipolar coils (A+, A−, B+, B−) and cannot interface with the center-tapped windings of unipolar motors. Attempting to connect a unipolar motor would result in incorrect current paths, potential device damage due to improper grounding, and failure to achieve intended torque or step resolution. Use only with confirmed bipolar stepper motors rated ≤40 V and ≤2.0 A per phase.
